I had no idea. I ...Interesting, and brave post Sue. I had no idea. I often joke at myself about how I get my numbers mixed up. I write things with switched numbers, and then I see my mistake and rectify it, only to discover I did it all over again in the same or different way aaggrr but it's never really caused me a problem, I think I go through spates...and then nothing for a while. Would explain why I never passed the Bank entrance tests ;-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265037013267864173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-1941904730781809952013-05-28T11:22:52.674+10:002013-05-28T11:22:52.674+10:00Hilary, dyslexics have so much to offer, but there...Hilary, dyslexics have so much to offer, but there's a lot of prejudice when people can't spell easily. Giving the benefit of the doubt is important, as you say we have no idea what others are grappling with, and it's gracious to look for a possible cause instead of jumping to critical conclusions. <br /><br />It's not easy to be open, particularly for those who struggle daily - their jobs can be put on the line which is so unfair. I'm now in a position where I can speak out via my blogs and hopefully this will help some others.<br /><br />Diane - arrrgh :( <br />I'd never noticed. Hopefully all is well given that within the post it's spelt correctly (I hope!). (Wanders off to kick self then write a post on "Do you bully yourself!)<br /><br />Getting to know others is wonderful in the world of blogging and being able to say a kind word when things go haywire is great.

One of my treasured and regular blogs has gone quiet on me. Emailing yesterday - are you OK? She said, words are being uncooperative, no blogging for now.Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-38668882795052077342013-05-26T20:16:58.123+10:002013-05-26T20:16:58.123+10:00Hi Sue - excellent post about dyslexia .. many wel...Hi Sue - excellent post about dyslexia .. many well known figures have developed amazing careers, despite being dyslexic - Richard Branson being one that most people will know from the Virgin brands.<br /><br />It's one thing I've taken from the time spent with my mother and uncle - and try to remember today .. that people we meet - we have no idea what they're going through .. and should give them the benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />People can be incredibly cruel, and usually in those circumstances aren't thinking properly ... <br /><br />If I have a problem now - which I don't from dyslexia - I'll often be upfront about it .. and answer criticism of others .. with perhaps they're ill, or can't afford it .. or just plain exhausted ... there's usually a reason.<br /><br />However your recognition as expressed here .. re your puppy training - I hope you're up front now ... so people understand. I do it in exercise class - I'm not good at co-ordinating til I get it! It relieves me of the pressure, and the teacher who then doesn't try and get me in line - I can just get on as best I can .. <br /><br />You've said it all .. thanks for such an interesting post .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
